Washington, D.C. – Today SBA Pro-Life America Candidate Fund announced its endorsement of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for re-election.
DeSantis signed legislation earlier this year that protects unborn children and their mothers from painful later abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The law was temporarily blocked last month but quickly reinstated after DeSantis’ administration appealed. DeSantis stated, “These are unborn babies that have heartbeats, they can feel pain, they can suck their thumb.” His administration further rejects that there is any court-imposed “right” to abortion on demand in Florida.
“We’re proud to endorse Governor Ron DeSantis, a fearless advocate for the unborn and their mothers and for the will of Floridians,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Gov. DeSantis is right: science shows unborn children are human like us and feel excruciating pain in brutal late abortions. Lives are being saved today thanks to his strong leadership, and he continues to stand up for the people’s right to enact their values in the law – not have abortion on demand until birth imposed on them by unelected judges. We are grateful for his unflinching commitment to moms and babies and look forward to his re-election victory.”
The SBA Pro-Life America and Women Speak Out PAC field team has boots on the ground in Florida and has visited over 380,000 homes of voters across the state. This election cycle, SBA Pro-Life America and its entities plan to spend $78 million to protect life across America. This includes reaching eight million voters across battleground states – four million directly at their doors – to take back the U.S. House and Senate.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
